we love badges

A sneak peek at badges currently in production for Calm Air All Ice.

The super lovely Chip-Fork has made a poster for our show, this is the almost completely finished version. I really like how it combines our work.

work in progress

I've been screen printing onto vintage hankies that came all the way from California, and then doing some basic x-stitch on the top of them. I want to go back and re-work the stitching on this one, but I also wanted to show that there's some work being made!

Today I spent the day screen printing onto paper- one of my top secret projects that I hope will turn out ok- it involves using multiple colours and making sure things are aligned well, which spells disaster pretty much.

Tomorrow i'm going back to print two more colours and see if I can start to pull everything together a bit - in four weeks time the show will nearly be over and we'll be on to thinking more about our next one later in the year.

I found this little treat for Claire yesterday whilst I was at the seaside (I live at the seaside, but yesterday I was actually on the beach), for some reason they were selling laminated place mats featuring 'Legends of the Air' and I couldn't resist picking one up for her.

Our work continues, but we both have to be careful not to get distracted by the news that we have lined up at least another two exhibitions for us- more details nearer the time.

formations

These are some of my planes in flight formations! It's a start - slowly my ideas are coming together - theres some more formations here

Pick a number

Still stitching away at the vintage hankies and turning them into fortune tellers full of strange fortunes. The numbers were picked at random- I wonder if there's any meaning behind them...

knitted planes

This is my first attempt at a knitted plane! The shape is fairly simple, as I cut the wood underneath with a saw! Hopefully I'll be using a lasercut for future attempts! I'm quite pleased with it though, dreaming about having fleets of them on flying across the wall.
